U.S. and Russia miscarry agreement on Syria peace meeting

26 June 2013 [11:23] - TODAY.AZ
US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov next week to discuss a planned Syria peace conference, after the two countries on Tuesday were unable to set a date and a list of delegates, a UN spokeswoman said, dpa reported.

UN and Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov and US Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman in Geneva as the Syrian opposition was still undecided on whom to send to the Geneva peace talks.

The three-way talks to prepare for negotiations between the Syrian regime and opposition about a political transition were "constructive," the spokeswoman said.
